TOPIC: YOU ARE PECULIAR TO GOD
TEXT: TITUS 2:14 “Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works”
MEMORY VERSE: PSALM 135:4 “For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure”
FOCUS
This morning, we are looking at one of the things we must know to become a Sign and a Wonder which is understanding our identity(knowing who we are in Christ), and from our text, TITUS 2:14, we can see that part of our identity is that we are a Peculiar people.
What does it mean to be a Peculiar person? To be Peculiar means you are special, you are different from others, you are an unusual being, you are called out, and you are unique. God has designed us to be peculiar people. Peculiar in the sense that we are different in all ramifications of life. We are people of great value, we are people of great power, we are people of honor, we are people of dominion, we are people that are separated, we are uncommon people, and this why the Bible has told us that we are peculiar to God and we are not just peculiar to God alone but we are peculiar to ourselves.
We are people of great value and when you go into the consciousness that you are Peculiar, you can subdue any force that wants to attack your personality.
LESSON
1st PETER 2:9 “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth his praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light”
We are looking at the scripture in 1st PETER 2:9 which says “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people…” What it means when God said we are Peculiar is that we are unique, we are chosen, and we are people of great value. Christ has invested so much in us and like we said yesterday, we are complete in him. His investments in us make us Peculiar, it makes us unique, it makes us different, and makes us someone who is sorted out.
These things are God’s heritage for us and God in his infinite mercy, has designed you and I to be a unique person not just by redemption but even in character, in utterances, in relationships, and in everything we do, there must be a difference. Our thinking must be aligned with God. We must be different. You must come to this understanding that you are a unique person, you must be conscious that you are a Peculiar person, nothing is missing, everything you need God has done it.
Do not forget that it takes knowing your identity to command Signs and Wonders. Once you know that you are Peculiar, you will be able to demand Signs and Wonders. Many people pass through life but they do not understand their peculiarity so they die like mere men. This is why the Bible says that “A man that is in honor and does not know it, is like a beast that perisheth” So, one is for you to be Peculiar and another is for you to be aware that you are a Peculiar person.
Peculiarity is not negative, it is not like you are weird. Peculiarity is that you are conscious and you are determined to be a living Sign and Wonder. When people look at your life, they should know that a sign and wonder is flowing from there and you emit it wherever you go. God bless you.
